Facility Inspections

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having all of the information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it ended up being difficult to grade the place in the area of inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also would like to emphasize the fact that this facility received a top-shelf grade of A in our short-term care category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Grade: B

This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.04762 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final category we graded was nursing. This nursing home received a very good nursing grade this year, with a B. While this was not nearly as dominant as many of its other category grades, this is nevertheless one of the more favorable grades in that category. When computing our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
